Ol' Man River - Gordon MacRae
Here we all work on the Mississippi
Here we all work while the big folks play
Pulling those boats from the dawn to sunset
Getting no rest till the judgment day
Don't look up and don't look down
You don't dare make the big boss frown
Bend your knees and bow your head
And pull that rope until you're dead
Oh
Let me go 'way from the Mississippi
Let me go 'way from the big man boss
Show me that stream called the river Jordan
That's the old stream that I long to cross
Ol' man river that ol' man river
He must know somethin' but he don't say nothin'
He just keeps rollin' he keeps on rollin' along
He don't plant taters he don't plant cotton
And them what plants 'em is soon forgotten
But ol' man river he just keeps rollin' along
Now you and me we sweat and strain
Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain
Tote that barge and lift that bale
You get a little drunk and you land in ja ail
I gets weary and sick of tryin'
I'm tired of livin' and I'm scared of dyin'
That ol' man river he keeps rollin' along
